Jesus Christ & the Gospel Message

Jesus is the eternal Son of God. In becoming human, Jesus Christ He was conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. Jesus perfectly revealed and did God's will, taking upon Himself human nature with its demands and necessities and identifying Himself completely with mankind. Yet he was without sin.

He honored the God's law by His personal obedience, and in His substitutionary death on the cross He made provision for the redemption of men and women from sin. He was raised from the dead on the third day with a glorified body and appeared to His disciples as the person who was with them before His crucifixion.

He ascended into heaven and is now exalted at the right hand of God where He is the One Mediator, fully God, fully man, in whose Person is effected the reconciliation between God and man. He is the Chief Pastor of our church and all churches that faithfully believe and preach the gospel.

He will return in power and glory to judge the world and to consummate His redemptive mission.

The gospel is God’s message to the world and it is the message about Jesus Christ. The message God wants all of us to hear, believe, and live our lives for is the news that Jesus, the Son of God, came into the world and lived the life we should have lived in perfect and joyful obedience to God the Father. He died the death we should have died and took the penalty for our sin on himself. He rose from the dead and took the penalty for our sin on himself. He rose from the dead on the third day defeating sin, Satan, and death and calls all men and women to turn away from their sin AND turn away from their religious efforts and goodness and instead trust in the Lord Jesus’ goodness, righteousness, and his death on the cross alone for their salvation.
